Dan Dan Mian Noodles

With pickled greens, green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and chili-vinegar soy sauce, this 15-minute noodle dish bursts with the intense flavors of Szechwan cooking. This is a fast, filling dish that shows the boldness of Szechuan cooking. Every ingredient stands out, from the pickled greens and chili-vinegar soy sauce to the succulent noodles.

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 ounces Chinese wheat noodles, udon noodles, or soba noodles
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • ¼ cup pickled mustard greens or pickled cabbage
  • 1½ teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook them according to the directions, until they are slightly soft. Drain the water and set the noodles to the side.
  2. Over medium-high heat, add the green onion and pickled greens to a wok. Cook for about 1 minute. Remove them from the wok. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, chili paste, and noodles to the wok, and cook them for about 30 seconds.
  3. Plate each serving with half of the noodles, and garnish them with the cooked green onions, pickled greens, and sesame seeds.

    Notes:

    Pickled green cheat: Pickled greens should be available at most Asian markets, but you can make a quick version by sautéing sliced cabbage or mustard greens in rice vinegar and a pinch of salt until the veggies are soft. You’ll need about ½ cup of fresh greens to start, and you should end with about ¼ cup once they cook.

    Making it simple: Cook the noodles. Mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili paste in a small bowl, and pour over the noodles. Top each serving with uncooked green onions, pickled greens, and sesame seeds.

    The gourmet touch: Use black rice vinegar and add 2 teaspoons of Szechuan peppercorns to the wok when you sauté the pickled greens and green onion. You can also add ½ cup chopped seitan to the recipe. Chop the seitan and marinate it in a mixture of chili paste and rice vinegar for at least 2 hours, then sauté it for about 1 minute. Serve on top of the noodles.

Want to lose weight and tone up 

Are you trying to lose weight and not seeing the results you want? You’re not alone. It can be frustrating when you feel like you’re doing everything right but the scale isn’t moving.

One reason you may not be seeing the results you want is because you’re not building muscle. Muscle mass burns more calories than fat, even at rest, so the more muscle you have, the easier it is to lose weight.

And it’s not just about burning calories. Building muscle also helps to boost your metabolism, which means you’ll continue to burn calories even after you’ve finished working out. So if you’re trying to lose weight, don’t forget to focus on building muscle. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

There are a number of ways you can build muscle, but one of the easiest is to simply move more. Go for a walk, take the stairs, do some bodyweight exercises at home—anything that gets you moving and your heart rate up will help.

If you aren’t a member of a gym or don’t have access to weights you might want to try exercise bands instead. They are easy to come by and cheap too. 5 of the best exercises to build muscles are below.

  1. Squats

  3. Bench presses
  4. Pull-ups
  5. Military presses

So load up on veggies, fruits, legumes, and whole grains, and you’ll be on your way to a stronger, healthier body in no time.

5 of the best vegan whole foods to build muscle

  1. Quinoa
  2. Sweet potatoes
  3. Chickpeas
  4. Lentils
  5. Oats

Remember portion control too. Just because you’re eating healthy foods doesn’t mean you can eat as much as you want. overeating will sabotage your weight loss efforts, so be sure to measure out your food and only eat until you’re satisfied, not stuffed.

And last but not least, don’t forget to stay hydrated. Water is essential for proper muscle function and growth, so be sure to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. aim for eight glasses a day, or more if you’re active.

5 things to add to water to make it taste better and help you drink more

6 Tips For Success

6 Tips For Success

by with No Comment All PostsCoachingHealthWellbeing

You Are What You Think Do and Who You Hang Around – 6 Tips For Success

One of the most important things you can do to improve your chances of success in life is to upgrade your peer group. The people you associate with have a big impact on your thinking, emotions, and behavior. To get where you want to be in life, you need to surround yourself with supportive people who will help you achieve your goals.

We really are who we surrond ourselves with so it’s important to be mindful of the company we keep. To get where we want to be in life, we need to upgrade our peer group and surround ourselves with supportive people.

Here are 6 tips for success:

1. Find a mentor or role model who can guide and support you.
The role of a mentor is to help you grow and develop as a person. A mentor can provide invaluable advice and guidance, and can help you stay motivated when times are tough.

2. Join or create a supportive community or network.
It’s important to have people in your life who understand and support your goals. These people can give you emotional and practical support, and can help hold you accountable.

3. Be selective about the media you consume.
Limit your exposure to negative news and disturbing content that can add to your stress levels. Instead, seek out positive, inspiring stories that will make you feel good about yourself and the world around you.

4. Practice self-care.
Make sure to take care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally. This includes eating healthy, getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and taking breaks when you need them.

5. Seek out professional help if needed.
If you’re struggling to cope with stress or anxiety, or if you’re dealing with a difficult situation, don’t be afraid to seek professional help. A therapist or counselor can provide guidance and support that can make a big difference in your life.

6. Read books and articles that inspire and motivate you.

People often underestimate the power of books but a self-help or personal development book at the end of the day is decades of someone’s life condensed into 500 + pages.

Some of my favourites are:
The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
As a Man Thinketh by James Allen
The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason
The Art of Possibility by Rosamund Stone Zander
The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren
The millionaire next door by Thomas Stanley
The 5 people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom
The 4 hour work week by Timothy Ferriss
The monk who sold his ferrari by Robin Sharma
How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie

These books have the ability to change your life if you let them. Read with an open mind and be willing to apply the concepts to your own life. Take actionable steps towards your goals and dreams. Set aside time each day to work on yourself and your personal development. The most important relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself, so make it a priority to nurture and grow that relationship. By doing so, you will be well on your way to achieving success in all areas of your life.

One important thing to remember is that you are in control of your own life. You have the power to choose who you associate with and what kind of influence they have on you. So make sure to surround yourself with people who will support and encourage you to reach your full potential. With the right people in your life, anything is possible!

The way you think, feel, and behave are all influenced by the people you associate with. If you want to be successful in life, it’s important to surround yourself with positive, supportive people who will help you achieve your goals.

We’d love to hear about your successes!

Why You Should Focus More On Solutions In 2022

Why You Should Focus More On Solutions In 2022

by with No Comment All PostsCoachingHealthWellbeing

Why you should focus more on solutions in 2022

As we move through 2022, it’s more important than ever to focus on solutions. Why? Because the world is becoming increasingly complex and the challenges, we face are becoming more difficult to solve.

To focus on solutions rather than problems consider the following:

– In 2020, the world experienced a pandemic that killed over 2 million people and caused widespread economic disruption.

– Climate change is causing extreme weather events that are costing lives, destroying livelihoods, and damaging infrastructure.

– Economic inequality is rising, with the top 1% of earners taking home more than 20% of all global income.

– Social media platforms are being used to spread misinformation and hate speech, leading to real-world violence.

These are just some of the challenges we face. And if we want to overcome them, we need to start focusing on solutions.

So what does that mean in practical terms?

For starters, it means seeking out new ideas and innovative approaches. It means working together across disciplines and sectors. And it means being open to different ways of doing things.

All of us – individuals, businesses, governments, and NGOs – need to play our part. We need to be part of the solution.

If we can do that, then 2022 will be a year of progress and hope. But how do we become more solution focused?

There are a number of things we can do:

– Educate ourselves on the challenges we face and what’s being done to solve them.

– Seek out new ideas and approaches, and be open to change.

– Work together across disciplines and sectors to find solutions.

– Support businesses and organizations that are focused on solving problems.

– Advocate for policies and regulations that encourage solution-oriented thinking.

Let’s make 2022 the year we start focusing on solutions. It’s time for us to come together and create a better future for all.
